Patent EP-1467159-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHIMIZU KATSUMI
IPC: F02G1/043
Filed: 2002-12-24
Abstract: Through stroke control whereby the stroke of a piston 1 is detected and controlled to
be equal to a target stroke, the piston 1 is prevented from colliding with a displacer 2, and the
refrigerating performance of a Stirling refrigerator 40 is enhanced. Different target strokes
corresponding to different operation conditions of the Stirling refrigerator 40 are stored in a
storage portion 111 in a control box 30, so that a linear motor 13 can be driven with a target
stroke that suits the current operation condition. Thus, the piston 1 is prevented from
colliding with a displacer 2, and the refrigerating performance of a Stirling refrigerator 40 is
further enhanced.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making highly cost-effective electronic modules. More particularly, said method is characterized by steps requiring simplified equipment enabling to manufacture rapidly a large amount of modules. The invention also aims at producing a reliable electronic module at a very low production cost. This is achieved by using a method for making an electronic module comprising an assembly of an insulating sheet (1) provided in the form of a tray for holding electronic components and including cells, at least an electronic component (3) placed in said cells (2), and a second insulating sheet. The method is characterized by the following steps: setting on a working surface a first insulating sheet formed by the cellular tray, said cells containing each at least an electronic component, superimposing the second insulating sheet on the first so as to close the cells containing the electronic component, cutting out the modules along an outline including at least a cell of the first insulating sheet.

Abstract: The vulcanization rubber compound (6) in the injection mold (18) then beomces the dielectric within the formed capacitor, as it is sandwiched between the sensor (17) and the surface of the mold (18) or metallic insert within the part being molded (the opposing electrode). Since the dielectric properties of the rubber change as the rubber vulcanizes, the impedance of the formed capacitor changes as well, which allows for a non-invasive method of monitoring and controlling vulcanization in the mold (18).

Abstract: The invention discloses a polyvinyl alcohol obtained
through hydrolysis of a polyvinyl ester that contains specific
silyl group-having monomer units. The polyvinyl alcohol
satisfies the following formula (I) and the weight fraction
of the polymer molecules having the degree of polymerization
that are more than 3 times the weight-average degree of
polymerization of the whole polyvinyl alcohol molecules is at
most 25 % by weight:
 20 < Pw x S < 460 
   wherein Pw indicates the weight-average degree of
polymerization of the polyvinyl alcohol, and S indicates the
content (mol%) of the silyl group-having monomer units in the
polyvinyl alcohol. 
     The polyvinyl alcohol is characterized in that it may
be readily dissolved in water to form an aqueous solution thereof
even though an alkali such as sodium hydroxide or an acid is
not added thereto; its aqueous solution has good viscosity
stability; a film formed of its aqueous solution is excellent
in resistance to water; its binding force with inorganic
substances is high; and a film formed of its mixture with an
inorganic substance is excellent in resistance to water. The
polyvinyl alcohol is favorable for coating agents for inkjet
recording materials and thermal recording materials.

Abstract: To prevent a deformation of a tab. 
     Since a bulging-out portion (23) of a first plate portion (21) is spaced a part from a
second plate portion (22), the strength of a tab (20) may be reduced because of the
presence of a space between the first and second plate portions (21), (22). However,
since supporting portions (25) projecting from the bulging-out portion (23) are in contact
with the second plate portion (22), a sufficient strength is secured for the tab (20). The
supporting portions (25) are in contact with the second plate portion (22) not at a position
where free ends (28a) of two folded portions (28) are opposed to each other, but at
positions displaced toward side edges from the free ends (28a). Thus, there is no
danger that the supporting portions (25) thrust themselves between the free ends (28a)
to separate the free ends (28a) when the first plate portion (21) is pressed, thereby preventing
the tab (20) from being deformed.

and their use to determine the presence or absence of certain
factor XIIIA polymorphisms. These polymorphisms are associated
with diseases such as myocardial infarction, brain infarction,
deep vein thrombosis, intracerebral hemorrhage and primary
pulmonary embolism. The method of the invention measures the
molecular mass of factor XIIIA proteins or protein fragments
and uses these data to calculate differences of the molecular
mass, indicating certain factor XIIIA polymorphism.
Furthermore included in the invention are test kits, factor
XIIIA protein fragments and antibodies binding to same.

IPC: C12Q1/68

Abstract: The present invention provides oligonucleotides and methods for amplifying, detecting and
identifying sequence variations associated with hemochromatosis. It has been found that the
reduced efficiency of primer extension by DNA polymerases when the 3' end of a primer does not
hybridize perfectly with the target can be adapted for use as a means for distinguishing or
identifying the nucleotide in the target which is at the site where the diagnostic mismatch between
the detector primer and the target occurs. The efficiency of detector primer extension is detected
as an indication of the presence and/or identity of the sequence variation in the target. The
inventive methods make use of hemochromatosis gene (HFE)-specific amplification primers and
nucleotide mismatches at or near the 3' end of a detector primer to amplify fragments of the HFE
gene and discriminate between mutant and wild-type alleles and single nucleotide polymorphisms
which may occur in exon 2 and exon 4 of the (HFE) gene.
